Births of the daughters in the 1901 and 1911 censuses, showing mother's maiden surname as proof of correct family:

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

James's YOB in 1881, 1891, 1901 censuses is consistently 1852.

So the 1906 death is most probably the correct one, depending on when his birthday was.
All the other James Dodsons who died in Lancashire 1901-11 were either far too young or far too old to be him..

You don’t give a birth year for James

There’s a death in Salford in 1906 - might be worth checking it out

I have Elizabeth Craig b. 1851 in Yorkshire, married to James Dodson in Liverpool in 1874. I have them up to 1901 but can't find them after that. In 1901 they are living at 51 David Street, Liverpool. I can't find them in 1911. I've tried freebmd but can't find deaths. Any help would be appreciated.
